    The panhandle of Florida has been called Redneck Rivera, because that is where Alabamians and Tennesseans go on vacation.

    If you like all year round water sports (boating, fishing, skiing, and diving), then the Florida panhandle should be on your list of locations to settle in. The intercoastal waterway connects all the big bays from Panama City to Mobile Alabama. I would suggest Pensacola as a consideration for your family. However the panhandle only has small hills and no mountains. And the winters will have a few days of freezing weather. The gulf is warm clear water with white sand beaches.

    No state taxes in Florida too.


    This is accurate. I live in TN and regularly vacation in the panhandle of FL. Also the FL keys. The only thing about the panhandle is that if you are looking to have a career... my uneducated opinion formulated from driving through these areas is that.. outside of the tourist trap coastal cities, the panhandle seems to lack economic opportunity compared to Middle Tennessee. Looks like a comparatively impoverished area... Again, I do not know this to be fact, but that's what it looks like driving through.

    The thing that bugs me about Fla is the lack of topography. I have done 6 years there in the armpit of orlando..but my heart lies here.Click image for larger version.

    I love boating but I'm also a 2 wheel lover. Crossing the lower Blue Ridge north of Dahlonega GA on Hwy 60 and into southern TN is one of my favorite rides ever. Hell with the Dragon and the traffic. I've ridden north on 60 across the range and back across on 19 and not seen a dozen cars all day. Beautiful loop. This is in my top 3 places to retire which isn't all that far off

    The area where Georgia, NC and Tennessee meet is beautiful for motorcycling, not crowded, and property seems reasonable.
